Big Dog Litter Born to Irish Setter

Published on November 3, 2007 by   ·   1 Comment

Testing times for two dogs as they set aside cultural differences to share parenting duties to help rear a large litter of Irish Setter puppies

Madyson and Liliana have teamed together despite one being an Irish Setter and one being a Setter of the English variety to help raise a demanding set of 15 puppy mouthes.

Liliana has become a surrogate mum to the pups as Madyson struggled to keep the hungry pups well fed and looked after.

The English Setter even began producing milk for her adopted pups, sharing the burden of motherhood with the exhausted Madyson.

Owner Julie Murray is quoted:

“I was amazed. Liliana wasn’t even pregnant. I’ve been breeding dogs 30 years and never seen anything like it.”

Fifteen pups is too many for one mum. If Liliana wasn’t there I’d have to bottle-feed some. Source

    Wow that is alot of work if I could send you energy I would. my dog had six puppies and I know how much work that was and screening everyone to get them all good homes is even more nerve racking. I am a true supporter against the puppy mills that are expanding in this country. so its nice to hear someone actually taking the time to care and clean these puppies. Goodluck to you and God bless for taking care of mans best freind
